14.22 Colour Corrections

Description Parameter:	 Appendix C
Processing Level:	 none
Usage in processing:	 N/A
File Type:		 Binary FITS Table
File Names:		 PCCBB, PCCMBBONE, PCCMBBTWO, PCCPOWER

The colour correction tables are not used in OLP. Since the colour corrections depend on source specific assumptions, no efforts were made for implementation in OLP. The Cal-G products give the observer the possibility to apply colour corrections. Colour corrections are provided for 4 different models of the infrared continuum: blackbody $B_{\nu }(T)$, modified blackbodies ${\nu}^{\alpha}{\cdot}B_{\nu}(T)$ with ${\alpha}=$ 1 and 2, and power-law continua ${\nu }^{\alpha }$. A description of the derivation of the colour corrections is given in Appendix C.

The flux density value in OLP which refers to a source spectrum ${\rm F_{\nu}{\propto}{\nu}^{-1}}$ has to be divided by the colour correction factor associated to the assumed source spectrum.
